In her book Mists of Avalon Bradley (the alleged child abuser, see recent news) was reflecting on very real pagan traditions in Europe, which often practiced this style of naming their children — it's also true in some First Nations tribes today, I believe.

The early Celts had a tradition whereby a woman could instantaneously divorce her husband, and it would be completely and enthusiastically accepted by the community, for not satisfying her in bed. My tenth generation Celtic shaman teacher took this tradition to heart, apparently, and nary a woman he dated complained.

Yeah, that was a good movie. Small town rural psychic solving a crime, based on Billy's mom life and career. Equal elements of spookiness and suspense.

Most dogs are too young to be of the age of consent, anyway.

What's really cool is that there are SO SO SO SO SO SO SO many really cool kids in the foster care system in need of adoption.

So seven billion people headed to nine billion people by something like 2050 or so is good, you think? That we all need to keep population at replacement level? Despite the destruction of precious ecological areas and the fact that so many of those people are doomed to poverty? We're really NOT in danger of running…

Ari, you're talking about two extremes here — having kids and spending all your money on your kids or not having kids and "spending it on myself, completely selfishly." This might certainly be something you dream about, especially if you've worked damned hard (as most parents do) giving so much to your kids and have…

Oh, so we're into Real Talk now about being childfree and how it is simply a choice, and often one that Real Women put a great deal of research and thought into? And how, too often, women police each other/shut that shit down when Real Talk starts up about the many difficulties and challenges that come with having…

There are multiple First Nations tribes who regard astrology as something very sacred, revealing, helpful and important.

I can sit here and say you don't exist, too, dostoskitypheria. After all, how do we know you're not a bot? :)

I write about this in great detail in my book, which you are welcome to peruse. :)

...And we could go on all night quoting each other's references as "pseudoscience" just because the studies I quote don't confirm your confirmation bias....but really, what would be the point? I have animals to attend to here on the farm and nicer things to focus on rather than silly Internet fisticuffs with a…

Yes, and that's why the military (through a subcontractor who had formerly been working as a remote viewer for them, David Morehouse) tried to recruit me as a remote viewer......because no such thing exists or has any significance. :)

And as I mentioned earlier, there have been actual scientific studies done that have found correlations between sunspots and things going on with we humans down here. Funny how THOSE studies never get quoted; neither do other studies that have found lunar cycle effects. But, you know, you've got to pick and choose the…

I could also go on about the experiments I did in psychokinesis at Princeton Engineering Anomalies Lab and the very intriguing "coincidence" of a subcontractor working in recruiting for the military trying to recruit me as a remote viewer for their "defunct" program, which had gone black.

"People like me."

I think the main problem we have here, Houston, is the basis of this article; ie equating astrology with mainstream science.

Hmm, my mother was killed by doctors who had loads of "scientific rationale" for not listening to her 100% clear, consistent, multiple complaints, witnessed symptoms (witnessed by numerous nurses, caregivers, and observers) that would have led her down one road of (life-saving) treatment; so forgive me if I don't…

*snort* THANK YOU for this! :)

Aww, thanks so much for assuming I had any credibility in the first place! :) Such a rare point of view when somebody like me "comes out." :) Can I smother you in big, wet, kisses?
